YOU MIGHT NOT KNOW BUT ASIANS EAT THEIR OWN PETS!!!!!! OMG!!!!!! I SAW THIS PICTURE ONCE AND CHINESE PEOPLE WERE SKINNING DOG ALIVE!!! IT WAS SO TERRIBLE JUST TO LOOK AT.WHO WOULD DO THAT TO CUTE ANIMALS????!!!!!!

Lizzie,Comments like the one you started this thread with are just an attempt to start trouble, and generate meaningless comments like the one Parnia wrote. There is far too much sensationalism in the media today, and these kind of comments do nothing to improve the quality of what is available for people to read.

I urge you to think out your postings more carefully, and not believe everything you read, especially in this day and age when Photoshop is so readily available to create controversial postings.

Different cultures, in different places in the world, eat different things. Have any of you seen the TV show "Bizarre Foods" with Andrew Zimmern? Some of the things he sees cooked, and that he eats, are so far removed from what we, as a Western Civilization consume, yet it's just par for the course in these countries.Can you imagine someone from India, watching us eat a steak? To a religion there, cows are sacred, to be glorified, not eaten.Sure, if Muffy or Fido or someones pet was stolen and eaten, I'd be aghast, as well. But in a way, how is that different that a 4-H kid, that raises a pig or a cow or a sheep, then sells it to someone who is going to make steaks and mutton chops and Bacon out of that animal?

I agree with what you said, Nobody, that other cultures do indeed perceive animals differently than we do; and as such, I have nothing against it. It is simply their way. But don't you think that to bring it up in a seemingly hurtful posture is just an attempt to "stir the pot"?

"...but i saw true pics of nasty asians skinning a dog alive."

This is a quote from above. Is there anything about this sentence that is positive? There is a posting from Hmong Guy just before it, and he is obviously upset. I feel like Lizzie's postings are aimed to hurt Asians here, more than to bring attention to the plight of animals in other countries. JMHO

Whoa, "friend" I wasn't attempting to "stir the pot" or be hurtful, in any way shape manner or form...I'm not the one who talks about "nasty pics of asians" etc...I don't see how what I posted could be misconstrued as hurtful. I simply said that other cultures, view things differently, and they eat things that most Americans wouldn't.I'm just trying to point out that while we go to Mickey D's, or Safeway or Shop Smart, and buy beef, chicken, poultry, fish, and pork, there are folks from different countries and cultures that would find what we consume to be terrible, and again, to some, flat against their Faith.It's diff'rent strokes, for diff'rent folks, okay? That's ALL I was trying to say.Sorry if I offended anyone.
